In my mind the biggest difference is that in an IDE I need a stateful "project" or "solution" and with a text editor I don't.

Visual Studio is very much an IDE, but it is perfectly capable of editing a single file too. I think the only reason people tend to use something else for single files is because it tends to be slow to start up.
